hey all,

for a long time I thought my mic problems were software related, as it would sometimes work. most of the time I was barely audible on calls with static, and now there is dead silence

after trying many different distros with no improvement I've come to the conclusion that something is physically wrong with the mic. in the past I did drop the phone a few times, and eventually replaced the screen (had a crack across the top.) other than that the phone hasn't had any other damages, and everything else works fine

I wanted to ask where exactly is the mic in the phone? I assumed that it would be on the usb board, but don't really see much there. everything looks to be connected properly. Since the mic works sometimes, I think there might be a way to fix it before resorting to buying a replacement part

Hi all-

I bought a regular pinephone (beta).

It seems to want to install booting emmc first.
Being a newbie, I flashed spi on it.
It boots and hands it off to k splash for plasma manjaro.

Then it peters out with a kernel os error.

Pinephone support says reinstall OS which I am attempting to do.

Two things:
1) the pinephone doesnt synch with my pc at this time windows 11.
2) I cant get into the boot order in  the firmware or reset in any way shape or form.

I have another thread posted today where i am debugging this issue but am waiting for further feedback.

It seems strange the choice to go with emmc first because 'stranger things HAVE happened' lol.

Please HELP.... thanks,
jim

Hi all-

I work with the ai.

There’s been a lot of grumbling the last few days among my friends about PPP and various power issues. Frankly, it makes a person a bit paranoid to enjoy their new device. As soon as I got it I mentally made note:

1. don’t even attempt to upgrade packages
   
2. take out the battery the instant you are done
   
3. find some way to prevent deep sleep
   
4. keep plugged in at all times https://www.fuelly.com/forums/f8/loose-g...22996.html
   

I am wanting to use Xreal air glasses with my pinephone. I have the manjaro edition so don't think there are usb-c issues with the hardware.

I see in log messages in dmesg that the anx7688 driver sets a 500mA limit when the glasses are plugged in.

I confirmed with the manufacturer that 1A is needed.

I see good info from xrandr and such but the glasses won't turn on due to lack of current I suppose due to this 500mA limit.

I couldn't find any information on wiki pages or anx7688 product brief to tell me if I could increase the limit to a different value, say 2100 mA or 3000 mA as I might expect from a USB 3.1 device.

Hi-

the images at the manjaro site only have a checksum and the site looks funny like no CSS styling is applied.  It is just a bunch of hyperlinks.
Mobian didnt have a way to verify either.

I am desperate for an image. Can someone point me somewhere there is a cool image i can use with the pinephone that is supported?
I like manjaro gnome but v16 aiin't workin.

thanks,
jim

Hey

I am a fairly new user, just got my phone set up with a new SMS, installed all the updates etc etc.

I seem to be able to send SMS messages, but I only receive them some of the time. The last three people who have tried to send me an SMS message they did not go through. I didn't get any notification and they don't show up in my messages.

SMS app being used is Spacebar
Phone app in use is just "Phone"

The notifications for SMS when the phone is in sleep mode are also a bit dodgy/unreliable, but I am more concerned with not getting any message or notification at all when people are trying to contact me.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

OS: Manjaro-ARM
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2
Kernel Version: 5.19.9-1-MANJARO-ARM

I managed to corrupt my EMMC, and am trying to boot from SD.

I've flashed an image onto a 16 GB SD card.

I've set up the debug adapter, and positioned the switch to the left (labeled Maskrom/SD).

However, when I boot, the serial console always shows that it's trying to boot from MMC.

If I interrupt the boot process, I end up at the maskrom console.

How can I check the status of the SD card from the maskrom console?   

Alternatively, how can I force booting from the SD card (from the maskrom console)?

hi all-

I might have done something weird verifying can someone take a quick moment and check if the mobian image is okay for  the posh?
The sha256sum works but not the gpg (unless i did something wrong)

thanks

How to reproduce:

• Install Debian 12
  
• Observe the "platform analog-sound: deferred probe pending" message in the output of dmesg
  

• Install alsa-utils
  
• Observe no analog-sound in the output of alsa -l command, but spdif-sound and hdmi-sound do exist.
